Opening to a chorus of acclaim from numerous critics, Asha's is not your average Indian restaurant.

As Neil Sowerby wrote in his recent article: "THERE’S a touch of chutzpah about having a restaurant chain named after you when you are not even some famous chef, but if you are a legend among Bollywood legends and the most recorded artist ever you can get away with it. Big time. Especially when this international dining brand new to Manchester delivers such a good product on the evidence of a couple of soft launch meals.

What does it bring to the party? A certain adventure with raw materials. Most Indian restaurants shy away from venison and duck (the dense, sharp duck vindaloo is a winner. A definite fresh feel about dips and chutneys (try the papapya and green apple examples) all made on site like the breads, which are terrific."
